The way you have incinuated a loose definition of bowhunters kind of puts that category into a bad light. It seems that you are indicating that archers shoot all year long and would continue shooting in the absence of bowhunting, and that bowhunters are not dedicated to shooting effectively but go out in the woods and fling arrows until they kill a deer. If that's the case I doubt you'll get many people volunteering to say they are bowhunters.

To me, an archer is someone that may or may not bowhunt, but has a passion for archery shooting sports and shooting excellence. They most likely compete in some aspect of archery be it Feta, 3d, or otherwise and toil over their gear trying to squeeze the most out of its performance. A bowhunter is someone that is equally dedicated spending a good portion of their time scouting, preparing, and PRACTICING for the upcoming season with the hopes of bringing home a big one. The archer may or may not be an effective bowhunter due to the fact that they don't spend as much time scouting because of their need to perfect their equipment or compete. The bowhunter may compete in a 3d shoot to hone his skills for hunting but cannot hope to be in the same league as the true archers. That is my view of the people you are asking about. The people who shoot a couple of arrows to see if their bow is "on" and then run to the woods are most often gun hunters that bowhunt to extend their hunting time.

With that being said I would say I am a bowhunter. I practice extensively, scout quite a bit, put a lot of time on stand, look over maps and aerials, and attend 3d shoots in the off season. Given a choice between giving up gun hunting or bow hunting it would be a no brainer and I'd be hitting the woods with my bow all the time.
